B/L - it looked to me (non-skater) like he didn't throw her hard enough. (She fell.) Now has he gained weight and she lost weight since last season? They just don't look matched... and I don't like seeing lady skaters looking like sticks.

Seriously, does anyone know anything about B/L? Last year they seemed exquisite to me, despite errors, but this year... meh. I feel bad for them.

I'm not crazy about D/R but it sounds like they had the best skate of the comp.

Re: jet lag - you can get it with a coast-to-coast flight (which my husband is about to do), let alone a 6-hr time difference. It would affect different people differently. But I don't really know what would account for all the blah skates today.

Russians under a curse today. He dropped her or she fell out of their twist!

I think he pulled her shirt a little, that looosy part, while she was landing, that's why she fell. Will check the moment later again on youtube. But if my guess is right, they definitely have to change her costume.

Not even in five years? And fair enough on the flip - I was just floored with her landing position - so perfect and gorgeous flow. I've been excited about them for a couple years, though, so definitely rooting for them.

They might be grand prix medal contenders in a few years, but world champion? I don't think so. Not enough pedigree. Did not win anything important as a junior pair. The other young pair coached by Moskvina will get more mileage than this pair for Russia.

I don't think she's lost any weight recently... She's been kind of scary skinny, IMO, for years. She's starting to land her 3T more normally at least.

I enjoyed Jessica & Eric and Amanda & Mark' programs, Amanda 's dress was beautiful. I am hoping that they can move up
and medal here. They always seem to end up in 4th place. Tat & Max's SP is growing on me, I prefer their LP.
